Gauges for Propane Cylinders
I would like to put gas gauges on my 30 bottles. I looked at some on the internet and they all seem to say that they are good for 10 to 40 lb cylinders. How can different size cylinders use the same ...

There are 4 types of gauges.
One uses a float, like a gasoline gauge on your car. It must be installed by a certified tank re-certifier It works very well and it is "Tank specific".
Most of the ones you find on the internet ared simple RED/Green pressure gauges. They do not tell you how much is left in the tank, only that you have LIQUID in the tank, can be 1 oz or 100 pounds. thy do not have the ability to tell the difference.
Next somes a scale. Those work based on the weight of cylinder and gas. These too are fairly accurate.
Finally there is a LCD strip.. YOu attach it to the tank (Either magnetic or peal and stick) Then put s pan of water on the stove to boil and pour the hot water over the strip. A marked color change will indicaste the liquid level in the tank.. Also rather accurate.
